MFAT Electronic Power Feed (#56)
The software requests that the EPF be turned on for a given port. The hardware
then attempts to turn on that port's station power unit. If no current is drawn, the
station is probably not connected. If an overcurrent condition is sensed (too much
current is drawn), a short may exist in the loop, or the voice terminal may be
defective. The test results in a message indicating that either the EPF was turned
on successfully with no problems, or an overcurrent condition exists. This test is
repeated after a 5 second delay. If either test is not successful, the test aborts.
Although this test will never actually return a fail result (except for the internal
system error), an error type 257 entry will be made in the error log when the test
has completed if the overcurrent case is detected by the hardware.

ABORT The test was aborted due to an internal system error on a software request to
the board.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals up to 5 times.
1000 ABORT System resources required to run this test are not available. The port may be
busy with a valid call.

problems with the power to the station. You can verify that the station is
powered up correctly by executing a self-test on the station, and checking
that every feature button is operating.

voice terminal, or an incorrect type of terminal.
